[August 25th] [Bleach] I will not say farewell

Title: I will not say farewell
Date/Theme: August 25th / The heart beats on and will not stop
Series: Bleach
Character/Pairing: Byakuya
Rating: G



Kuchiki Byakuya mourned his wife as was proper, and then he folded up his memories and stored them in cedarwood boxes, laying them away in the darkness.

Sometimes he takes them out and runs them through his hands like silk, and remembers the scent of her hair.

Sometimes he does not think of them at all, does not even consciously remember her, but in his sleep he curls up around her absence.

But more often he lies awake in the dark, and looks up at the fingers of the moonlight stroking the ceiling, and remembers the pulse of her heart.
